Next Battlefield 5 Tides of War Chapter Is Coming Soon

The Tides of War live service in Battlefield V has kind of been ignored. I think the idea is great and like the idea of mixing in some story with the multiplayer. If you ask me this is kind of like Call of Duty’s community events that happen multiple times each year.

The next Tides of War chapter is going live on January 17^th and as far as I can tell it is hitting Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC at the same time. I much prefer this to that 30-day exclusivity garbage that Activision do. The event is going to be running until sometime in March.

The name for this second chapter is Lightning Strikes and the first part of it is going to be called A Few Good Soldiers. The Combined Arms co-op mode is part of Lightning Strikes and that sounds like it is going to be fun. Rush is coming back to multiplayer which many people will be happy about. Also, Squad Conquest which is a new game mode will be making an appearance during Lightning Strikes.

Neither DICE or EA have come out and said exactly when the different parts of Lightning Strikes will be available, we just know that the actual event starts on the 17^th of January. DICE have also said that we can expect a pretty darn big update either on the same day or right around the same time. It will be interesting to see what changes they make.

I do not expect anyone who does not already have Battlefield V to care about the second Tides of War chapter. However, for those of us who have the game, it gives us a reason to play it again.
